She woke me up with a bang bang
Lookin' over crossed eyed
Had a big hunch that the world was a big lie
When I got up all the blood to my head
I got so dizzy fell back into my bed
I went over to the wayside
Lookin' for the high tide
What will I find
Will I find
Will I find find
All I saw was a man that had a hat that had a pompom
He's been there for years
Can someone tell me how long?
Wake up to tell me
Wake up to show me what I could not find
Wake up to tell me
Wake up to show me what I could not
You see this woman woke me up at a quarter to three
And I didn't know it then but she put a spell on me
Said I had to go down to where the cliffs meet the sea
And meet an old man to present my plea
So I headed way down to the big pier
To await and confront my big fear
I wheeled around behind to my blind side
To find an old man with a lime and a kind eye
Said "Mister, mister, with your beard so long
Won't you be a saint and tell me just where I'm goin'"
He pointed to a conch shell and then to the lime
And said, "This is all I really need to get by"
Wake up to tell me
Wake up to show me what I could not find
Wake up to tell me
Wake up to show me what I could not
Hey (hey) mister man
I know ya don't know who ya, think I think I am
But I can safely say
That I shoulda been sleepin', been sleepin', been sleepin'
The day away
Hey Hey
I said excuse me
Have you got the time?
He shrugged his shoulders, said "Get a spine"
Coconut hit me on the head jonesin' for a fig
"I got booked last night... I need another fix, dig?"
Yeah
Just then I see a twinkle twinkle in the old man's eye
And a wave tossed bottle is thrown to the sky
I caught it on the rebound and landed with a soft sound
I took out the message and put the bottle down
Inside was an antidote to the spell
And I read it to the man 'cause he couldn't read so well
Said don't worry about a thing ya know your path is true
Just ease your mind have a banana or two
Well goodness, goodness woe is me
The man nearly flipped to learn that he was free
But just before we left and started kickin' it
I picked up the bottle and star sixed it
Kick kick shuffle shuffle back to the beach with a
Tune on my lips and my quest in reach
That woman come to see you with her song so sweet
Say "Damn" and let the poor s**er sleep... let him sleep
Wake up to tell me
Wake up to show me what I could not find
Wake up to tell me
Wake up to show me what I could not find
